Lancashire Manor Bi-Valent System

This Lancashire manor was originally heated by a standalone oil boiler with its hot water demands met by a separate immersion heater within the tank. With its recent renovation and a growing family, demand for heating and hot water was resulting in extremely high running costs in excess of £4,000 a year! With the growing demand for heat, varied fluctuations in oil price and mainly the overall high running costs the owner decided it was time to look at alternatives.

This Bi-Valent system allows the air source heat pump to offset the oil usage of the heating system and deem the separate immersion heater, for hot water, redundant. The air source heat pump covers all the heating and hot water demands of the property down to -3.2°C outside air temperature. Colder periods, in times of extreme weather, the original oil boiler offers additional input if it is required. This balance, ensuring ultimate optimization all year round, is fully controlled by Global Energy Systems own software.
